CARBURETER-HOMOGENIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, acre.

Application filed October 21, 1916. Serial No. 126,968.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AvIsoN F. HAYNES and RAY HAYNES, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Dufur, in the county of Wasco, State ofOregon, have invented a new and useful Carburetor-.Homogenizer, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a carburetor homogenizer whichwlT'le having increased efficiency in the'production of an e gplosivemixture, can be used as force feed device for delivering the-mixture tothe intake manifold, and hence to the cylinders ofthe engine inconnection with which the same is used.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the descriptionproceeds, it being understood that changes in .the precise embodiment ofthe invention herein disclosed,

can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing fromthe spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings 2-- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectionalview of a carbureter constructed in accordance with the presentinvention. 7

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section of the same showing the rotary orcentrifugal element in section. v

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the plane indicated by theline 3-3 of Fig. 1, through the fan casing. I

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on the plane indicated by the line4-4 of 85 Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a similar, view on the plane indicated by the line 55 of Fig.2.

Arranged within a suitable casing 10 is a centrifugal atomizing memberor element 11 consisting of an axial hollow shaft 12. perforatedthroughout its length, within the member 11, a cylindrical shell 13 anda series of radial vanes 14 connecting the hollow shaft with the shelland disposed helically at the inlet end of the shell and in parallelrelation with the axis at and near the outlet end of the same, thespiral disposition ber in more abrupt 'at the inlet end andgradsufficiently fine mesh and the shell preferably embodies in itsconstruction inner and outer layers 15 and 16 of the same material withan interposed layer 17 of felt or other fibrous material constituting afilling. The ends of the member 11 are closed and impervious.

As a means for increasing the rapidity of the carburetion. the shellshould be revolved rapidly for which purpose any suitable motive means(not shown) may be connected with the shaft 12 which also carries ablast fan 18 arranged in a casing 19 which is in communication with thecasing of the centrifugal member 11, a port to permit of suchcommunication being indicated at 20. The fan casing is provided with anoutlet 21 adapted to be placed in communication with the intake manifoldof an engine, said passage being provided with a check valve 22 andhaving a spring seated relief or safety valve 23 so as-to permit of theescape of pressurejn the event of back firing.

Gasolene or other suitable fuel is adapted to be introduced into the airintake pipe 24 by means of a float feed 25 having a nozzle 26 controlledby a valve 27 in the ordinary way, and said air intake pipe ispreferably arranged in communication with a heater 28 arranged around orin proximity to the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe 29 of the engine.

With an apparatus such as that described it is possible to secure a morerapid and complete charging of the cylinders, and with the charge in amoreor less condensed condition and hence of greater efiiciency whilethe action of the centrifugal element of the carbureter serves to finelydivide the fuel and insure a thorough mixing thereof with the air and acomplete volatilization resulting obviously in economy.

What is claimed is A homogenizer, comprising a cylindrical casing, asuction chamber at one end of said casing, a hollow shaft extendingIQIIgIlDHCllnally of and journaled in the casmg, said shaft beingperforated Within the casing, as our own, we have hereto aflixed oursigvanes extending from the shaft, the portion natures in the presenceof two Witnesses. of said vanes farthest removed from the AVISON F.HAYNES. suction chamber being helical, and a shell RAY HAYNES. 5 mountedon the shaft, the walls of said shell being porous.

Witnesses t J, C. JOHNSTON, In testimony that we claim the foregoing G.D. Bnonm.
